Chapter 229 Basement
"I remember, before you left Hogwarts, you started calling me Draco."
He tilted his head and gave Harry a faint smile.
At this time, her support also arrived - Damian landed heavily behind her, the pressure brought by his figure and armor made Malfoy and Julia who had just appeared beside him couldn't help holding their guns again.
The little boy who stole it also trotted a few steps and hid behind Malfoy.
"What happened, I heard a gunshot." Batman's electronic voice sounded, and Damian asked gloomyly. After seeing Malfoy's familiar face, the air pressure around him seemed to drop a few degrees.
"It was just a misunderstanding, Batman," Harry whispered back, turning his head again, and said to Malfoy, "I have a secret identity that must be protected, as you promised, Draco. So don't call me by my real name. "
"Don't worry, Julia doesn't know who you are, and I won't tell her."
The tall girl next to Draco rolled her eyes when she heard this.
He smiled easily, and rubbed the hair of the little boy beside him, "You and Batman must have noticed that we... are fleeing, or hiding."
He didn't scold the kid, he just rumpled his hair more, annoyed the little boy, slapped his hands away, and ducked back behind Julia.
"We are not so difficult that we have to steal things to eat, it's just that his living environment since he was a child is no worse than mine, and suddenly there is no dessert, sometimes..." Draco shook his head helplessly.
"It's inconvenient to talk here, come with us back to the residence, if you don't mind." Draco pointed to the dilapidated apartment building not far away.
Harry and Damian glanced at each other. Harry silently expressed his desire to go with his eyes, and Damian could only acquiesce.
Draco glanced at Julia, who shrugged.
"You agreed to take them back to the shelter." He was pleasantly surprised.
"That's Batman!" Julia spread her hands, "I don't trust Robin, but I trust Batman!"
Harley wanted to remind her that she was here!Can hear her!
However, Draco's "residence" was not like what Harry had thought before, in the apartment building he had identified before.After walking around to the building, Draco took Harry and Damian, pulled open the basement window with simple iron bars, and went down first by himself.
Climbing down the ladder against the window, Harry realized that he had now entered the dank, dark basement of the apartment building.
Similar living styles are very common in this area, and Draco and the others are not even the worst. Harry has even seen someone living in a trash can.
As the slum with the longest history and the most complex residents, the mayors of the previous mayors have vowed to rest here during the campaign and the early days of taking office, but in the end they all failed. On the one hand, their failure stemmed from, on the other hand, their The reason is still here. The complicated forces of all parties are obstructing the reform of the mayors.This is the largest circulation place for drugs and the main supply place for drugs in the red light district. It is also the base for gangsters to recruit young members-because there are too many desperate young people who can't see a way out.
"I know you must have a lot of questions, such as how did I end up here." Draco handed Harry a small stool, and Harry waved his hand.
Harry really didn't know how to respond, and Draco certainly didn't want to hear anything that might harbor sympathy.
He shrugged indifferently, "Actually, my current living environment is bought by my mother at a huge price..."
The relaxed expression he has maintained since we met until now has finally cracked, "We had just arrived in the United States, and the mysterious man hadn't recovered his full strength, so he could only hide in the suburban property that his father temporarily bought. He would, every few days, Ask father to bring a homeless person... Before long, father will need to transport out a corpse that has lost all of its blood... I heard from my father that the mysterious person was resurrected by sucking blood in the first place."
He leaned on a table and talked quietly. Julia seemed to disapprove of his way of digging out his heart and lungs. She shook her head irritably and went to pour water for the little boy who was eating pie.
Damian stood silently behind Harry like a statue, like a bat waiting for its prey, she almost forgot that Damian was still here several times.
"This is the convenience of a big Muggle city, especially Gotham. A few homeless people die here, and they can't attract any attention here. I think it is also in Gotham that a girl who has just grown up Only then can we easily get two weapons—both guns were stolen by Julia in the port. Of the three of us, Julia is the only one who can use magic, which is obviously not enough for self-defense." Draco will back The shotgun was taken off, but it was still within reach within a second.
"Of course we sometimes need to go out to buy the necessary living materials. This is my mother's opportunity——she picked a large supermarket for Muggles one time, and then... there was a big fuss, and the security guards surrounded me. Mysterious At that time, people didn't dare to kill people in public for the time being to hide, so I... took advantage of the chaos and escaped."
When he mentioned this incident, his expression was pained, "I don't even know if the Dark Lord will let her live...after this incident..."
"I'm sorry, Draco," Harry finally found his voice, and she felt that she had to say something, even if the consolation had no practical effect in nature, "About Vol..."
"Don't mention his name!" Draco interrupted Harry suddenly loudly, and the little boy who was drinking at the table next to him also knocked over his glass nervously.
"It's not because of timidity." Draco took off his hat, ruffling his blond hair irritably, "He cast a spell on this name. You just need to say this name, and he can locate you... At present, he should not Dare to find you directly, but the residence we finally found will be changed again..."
Damian finally moved slightly behind Harry.
"So it's like this..." Harry suddenly realized, this may be the reason why British wizards didn't dare to call him by his first name.
"These two are..." she reminded Draco, "You haven't introduced them yet."
"Oh, my fault," Draco said shyly, "This is Julia and Andy. We also need to conceal our identities, so I can't tell you their family names for the time being."
